Media Shames South Park for Ignoring Trump Jokes

Christian Toto  "South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone won't tar Trump in the show's upcoming season. That made the media very, very angry.

Cartman, Kyle and Kenny, meet Jimmy Fallon.
"The Tonight Show host once treated Donald Trump like a guest on his late night program. Because … that’s what the reality show host was.

"That sent reporters into a tizzy. How dare you normalize Trump, they cried. For weeks the press pounded Fallon for not just that indecency but for the dearth of Trump jokes in his monologues.
"Which is precisely what you see on the majority of late night comedy shows.
"Now, the press is training its guns on Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The duo behind Comedy Central’s long-running South Park incorporated plenty of Trump material in their most recent season.

"That’s partly why they decided to try something different for season 21, coming next month.
"Everyone else is unleashing Trump jokes, Parker and Stone argued. And the President himself is often so over the top it makes satire knottier. So the next batch of South Park episodes will mostly avoid Trump-related humor.
"You might as well whisper, “release the hounds” to the press.

"The Daily Beast attacked first, questioning Parker and Stone for not joining the Trump lynch mob." . . .

Even though this is mostly well-bleeped, language advisory is in order anyway:

Tapper speaks of how Obama got a free pass from the left

Obama never condemned the violence of the Black Lives Matter movement, even when innocent police officers died at their hands, and the media let him get away with that — even though the clearly racist, anti-white nature of some of its most vocal supporters was evident to anyone who followed the news.

Tаppеr Goеs Roguе With Unprеcеdеntеd Stаtеmеnt on Obаmа’s Truе Colors  "CNN anchor Jake Tapper recently went rogue and revealed the truth about former President Barack Obama’s true racist colors, and the left isn’t going to like it one bit. In an interview with Rolling Stone discussing the mainstream media, Tapper exposed the bias of major news outlets, explaining how they let Obama get away with telling lies while they criticize everything President Donald Trump says.

“ 'I don’t want to compare President Obama and President Trump on these issues because they’re different and the scale isn’t even remotely the same,” he said. “But President Obama said things that weren’t true and got away with it more for a variety of reasons, and one (reason) is the media was much more supportive of him.”

"Tapper added that when he was critical of Obama’s administration, a lot of people on the left “didn’t like it,” but that they now like how he is critical of Trump.

“ 'The Obama White House thought I was self-righteous and a huge pain in the a**,” he said.

"While many would still agree with that sentiment, Tapper — for once — touched on an important truth about how the liberal media always turned a blind eye to Obama’s failures." . . .

There's a perception you've become more radical given your decision to call out Trump's falsehoods, but maybe it's just that people are simply more aware of it now.A lot of people on the left didn't like it before, and now they like it. I don't want to compare President Obama and President Trump on these issues because they're different and the scale isn't even remotely the same. But President Obama said things that weren't true and got away with it more for a variety of reasons, and one is the media was much more supportive of him. The Obama White House thought I was self-righteous and a huge pain in the ass.
